   • The Define Location Group screen displays.
   • The Available Locations list shows all locations defined for your library that are not currently included in the location group. The Selected Locations list shows all locations that are currently included in the location group.
2. Use the Available Locations list to select the locations you wish to add to the location group.
   • If desired, use the Filter Locations text box to filter the Available Locations list to show a subset of locations based on the term you enter.
     • Enter the term by which you wish to filter the Available Locations list in the Filter Locations text box.
     • The Available Locations list refreshes as you type to show only those location names that contain the term you enter.

3. Click a location name in the Available Locations list to add the location to the location group.
